I've hesitated to write because I don't have another rig to compare to my K3 and because I use a vertical antenna which is by its nature noisy. I always have a high background noise level on all bands. I have NEVER experienced what some have described as a dead quiet band with signals popping out.
My K3 is a year old with the latest firmware and all of the hardware mods. I have not yet upgraded to a Rev C DSP board. I have tried various settings for RF gain and AGC THR and SLP. I believe that I am proficient in making these adjustments. One test that I have performed leaves me scratching my head as to its results. Maybe someone can enlighten me. I tune to a medium strength CW signal and press my ANT button to switch between ANT 1 and ANT 2. I have nothing connected to ANT 2. The signal disappears but the background noise level remains the same. 73, Mike K2MK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
